When I started The Awesome April Challenge I expected it to be a month long thing. But it wasn't at all, because raynedanser ran It's Gonna Be May, and now catviret is running The June Bug. There's already people signing up, and you should too! So go, sign, keep that popslash flame burning.

I had a glorious day yesterday. James was at work so I had the house to myself, and all I did was read fic, took a midday shower and changed into clean pjs, read more fic. Made tea, and burnt my hand *woe* then read more fic. It was a totally lazy and indulgent day and I loved it. Well, apart from when I realised really late it was Monday and pop_newsletter needed posting, leading to a frantic scramble and getting it done minutes before midnight, and yeah, I know it's not a big deal being late, but I don't like to be.

So yes, so much fic. So much good fic.

I'll skirt over the fact that following a link from silveryscrape I spent a good amount of time reading at a MPREG site, not even a fannish one either, but original fic, with manips and stories and man. When I logged on today and remembered that I wondered what the hell I was on. I need an intervention, I really do.

Today I'm writing something quite sort of weird, sort of h/c-ishy, and if anyone is willing I need a beta for a MCR story. It'll be really short, around 4,000 words I suspect but needs to be checked today. I know, I suck. I'd shove it on my beta filter but I always feel like I'm asking too much now, especially as it was a filter set up for popslash. Any volunteers? Just letting me know I'm not on crack would help.

To end. The Scouts have a media center where they're staying and planned to post blogs, pics etc. The first picture has just gone up and while I can't see Corey, I got such a pang of missing him.

ETA: I'm sorted :)

origial m-preg? And you mention this without sharing the link? *sniff* you must not love me any more *sniff*

Also - when you cave and make a bandslash beta filter, stick me on it, and in the mean time - send me fic?

xx

I think I love you more by not sharing the link, but it's here (http://pregnantmen.net/). At least the pictures will give you a laugh, some are terrible!

I've just sent it, and I suspect I do need to cave and make a new filter. I'm just so spoiled because my popslash betas are so good and I trust you all so totally that finding more people is scary. Still, I'll have you and Sperrywink on there for sure.

Yeah, you really do need an intervention!

I'm always happy to beta fic so feel free to email it on over to me. :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I really do. It wasn't even fannish mpreg :(

I've just sent it. I feel the need to say sorry now...eep.

That mpreg site was interesting. It really is a fetish among some men. Not all the pictures are manips; there are possibly a few who are wearing empathy bellies. One man even blogged (http://www.pregnantmen.net/blog) about his experience.

The JAG mpreg fic hit kinks for mpreg AND men in uniform, I think.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was joking about it but there is interesting stuff on there, and terrible too. But that's true of most sites like that I think.

That blog really is interesting, I hadn't checked those out last night. So thanks for the link :)

Sounds like a perfect day to me!

LOL!

Aww *hugs you*!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It was such a good day :)

Aww *hugs you*!

Thank you. It's just weird without him here.

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

It sounds like the perfect day to me, well apart from what you were actually reading :-)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It was the perfect day, and I did read a load of other stuff too *g*

[sperrywink]

Such a nice way to spend the day! Glad you got your beta situation sorted out!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It really was :)

I did get it sorted, because you were off slacking somewhere! ;)

[sperrywink]

I know! What was I thinking slaving away at work all day? That's not a good use of my time!

[rikes]

There's original mpreg fic? Wow. Sometimes I think fandom's crazy, but apparently it's all over the place!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

There is! Apparently it's a kink for the non-fannish too. It seems a lot of men really want to experience being pregnant.

[rikes]

Which makes no sense, I'm a woman and I'm not convinced I want to experience being pregnant. :D

I find your icon to be inappropriate for pimping popslash activities. :P

just btw, have you gotten my postcard?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Oooops! Consider my hand slapped!

I haven't :( Watch, as soon as you mention it it'll arrive today.

Well, apart from when I realised really late it was Monday and pop_newsletter needed posting,

Aargh - don't you hate it when that happens? I've been in bed a couple times when all the sudden I realized I hadn't posted the newsletter. And yeah, I know everyone would be fine if one was posted late, but it would bug me. ;)

Hmm, a mpreg site - I may need to check that out!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

And yeah, I know everyone would be fine if one was posted late, but it would bug me

Exactly!

But really, I could do without the frantic coding and gathering of links as I watch the clock tick toward midnight *g*

You should check out the site. There's a lot of interesting stuff there, and bad, but still.
